Lodges
The lodges are all identical, having been built in 2010. They are all detached, 2 storey in height and extending to a Gross Internal Area of approximately 112 sq.m.
The lodges are all fully accessible with car parking immediately adjacent to each lodge.
The ground floor of each lodge has an entry door that leads directly into an open plan living room, dining area and fitted kitchen.

The lodges have a tiled floor finish with timber panelled walls. Air source heating is provided throughout. The seating area within each lodge provides access to a covered patio area. Each kitchen includes a Hotpoint oven, BOSCH washing machine, BOSCH dishwasher, a stainless steel sink and an electric four ring hob. A disabled access wet/shower room is provided at ground floor adjacent to a large double bedroom. A staircase next to the lounge seating area provides access up to the first-floor level which includes 2 further double bedrooms and a bathroom. The larger bedroom also includes a balcony accessed via a double timber-framed and glazed door arrangement.

Opportunity
Hill of Maunderlea Lodges have been owner operated since their construction in 2010. The 14 acre site includes an open area with views to the southwest, with 4 x 2 storey, detached timber framed lodges accessed from a central driveway. The northernmost section of the site benefits from a viewpoint with views over rolling farmland to the Moray Firth.

Over half of the land is covered with mature woodland, which includes a number of paths for clients to enjoy the surroundings. There is a large football pitch sized area to the southeast of the site which would be ideal for further lodges, and additional lodges could easily be placed to the southwest side of the site, subject to planning consent being granted.

An aerial photo of the site is provided which indicated where additional lodges could be positioned, based on lodges being the same size as the existing buildings.
Rates vary throughout the year and range from £550-£850 per week depending on season. The detached storage shed is used for storage of all site equipment and laundry and also includes an office at ground floor. The building incorporates a mezzanine area accessed from the rear of the lodge via an external staircase. This level has been utilised as a staff bedroom with lounge area.
